I don't think a broader society pays their bills; their customers do.

"Broader society" is not a real entity; it's just a term to denote, presumably, the entire planet's population, given Roblox is not limited to a single country.

Pretty sure that's a metaphor ? There are pre-requisite conditions for Roblox to exist, and their actions are endangering those.

People make fun of the "we live in a society" "insight" - sadly it would seem that capitalism has gone so far, that even this is being forgotten now.

I don't know who "people" are here - I'm certainly not making fun of that.

Why I'm critiquing is for the same reason I mention your "people" silliness: massive overgeneralisations are sloppy and lead to wrong conclusions.
